Are you breastfeeding? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Breastfeeding mothers have to increase their calorie intake to keep up their milk production. However, sometimes, people use this as an excuse to eat whatever they want. It is essential that the mother eats healthy so the baby can obtain the nutrients it needs to grow. Foods like: melon, cantaloupe, prunes, oranges, carrots, pumpkin, spinach, yogurt, milk, quinoa, salmon, lean ground beef, nuts, seeds, and beans are not only good for you, but they are also good for your milk supply. Although it seems essential after long nights, caffeine consumption while breastfeeding can lead to a cranky baby. It is important to limit caffeine intake as well as avoiding seafood with high mercury. This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.
